Bacon is the Most Important Meat of the Day! (Candied Bacon)

I have 2 heroes this week. Jon & Steve. They let me in on a little secret hiding out in Webster, NY. Tony Costanza's International Sausage Shop. Oh My God! This little gem MAKES their own flavored Bacon. They make their OWN BACON! And sure, they have your run-of-the-mill flavors like Maple and Peppered, but they also have flavors like Raspberry Chipotle, Honey BBQ, Mango Pineapple and Buffalo Style. Can You Dig It? Jon & Steve brought me in a pound of Raspberry Chipotle and a pound of Honey BBQ, and saved me a drive. But I'm telling you, their bacon is worth the drive!

Would adding bacon to your favorite website make it more appetizing to the masses? If so, Bacolicio.us
is the site/utility just for you. The service works simply enough,
just add the following string — http://bacolicio.us/ — to the beginning
of any web address you choose and ta-da, the site you’re visiting now
comes with a side of bacon.

Flip bacon strips after 15 minutes in the oven. At this point, you'll
want to check on the bacon every couple of minutes - it can quickly go
from cooked to burned. I've found that my thin-cut bacon is done after 20-22
minutes. Baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your bacon -
a thicker bacon should take an extra 5 minutes. When it's done, you
want the bacon to be glistening with the sugar glaze. Let it cool on a
rack and it will crisp up.
